<!-- from fixya rte -->Washing machine will not hold water - Panasonic Washing Machines

washing machines are a hgigh demand water usage sytem anyway..I would use the regular water heater with the washer as it holds 40 gallons and most washers pump in a minimum 20 gallonson the low side..

possibly current is holding the water solinoid valve open

Hi,
It is kind of the opposite of these tips...instead of the dirt stopping off the water, the dirt is stuck in the valve and holding it open...


If your washing machine will not fill, only hot or cold will fill or is slow tofill then read these tips. I have covered many of the things that can happen inthese tips...

raise the main drain hose to the top of the back control head. there may be a problem with the main hose being to low and the water is gravity siphoning out of the washer.make sure the washer is off when you lift the hose up but do not remove it from the wall,you should here water drain out once it has stopped draining restart you machine and it should fill to the proper level and quit then go into your wash cycle

Make sure your drain is at the proper height. Here is a photo for reference. The water draining straight thru can be caused by this. If this is not the problem, please let me know. Hope this helped and best wishes.

IE is a water inlet error...meaning that the correct water level was not achieved within 8 minutes or it did not reach preset water level within 25 minutes...

CL is child lock feature which can be toggled on and off by by holding the Pre wash button in for 3 seconds.. Hope that helps...

First see that the exit hose behind the machine is at the correct height, before coming down into the wall standpipe or your sink. Your machine pump pumps water over this height, about 2.75 feet above ground level. Possible there is a water level height marked behind your machine.

If water flows out when machine is off, possible your inlet valve at top of machine is defective...............can be replaced easily.

It must umder warranty
